A woman who lives outside the Perimeter Highway says she worries for the next person who needs an ambulance after she was left waiting 45 minutes because of a road closure.
Just north of the Perimeter is where Nicole Dureault-Mohr and her husband live.
She has severe asthma and last Saturday she said a COVID-19 infection brought on a severe asthma attack that prompted her to call 911.
“I’m a retired nurse so I know when I am in trouble,” she said.
After calling for an ambulance, she said she waited 45 minutes for the paramedics to reach her.
She said she has had asthma attacks like this before and it has never taken that long.
“Forty-five minutes is a long time when you’re very scared, can’t hardly breathe.”
